Chapter 1426: Chapter 1248: Xiao’ai, Dabao, Xiaobei

Xia Dabao felt a sour taste rising in her heart, but she smiled as if nothing was wrong on her face, "Then you should hurry up, or he’ll be off to practice soon."

"I naturally know that," Zhou Xianzhi said with a smile, "I’ve practiced martial arts with him since we were children and know roughly what time he leaves the house."

Xia Dabao had no interest in listening any further and just kept walking forward.

However, when she reached another corridor, she saw someone sneaking a look outside. Alert, Xia Dabao quickly hid behind a small pine tree and peeked through its branches.

She had some impression of that person; he seemed to be called Zhou Chang.

And wasn’t that room where Chen Lingyun stayed?

It looked like those two were having an affair.

Zhou Chang, seeing no one outside, slipped out first, but after a short while, he returned and knocked on the door, pretending he had just arrived.

Xia Dabao thought it was totally unnecessary!

Chen Lingyun opened the door quickly, and the two of them left together.

But Xia Dabao felt there was something odd about the way these two walked; Chen Lingyun was walking with some pain, while Zhou Chang seemed light on his feet, as if he had gone through some heavy physical labor.

Xia Dabao hurriedly followed them in secret.

Her mother had taught her some methods of tracking prey, and she knew how to walk without alerting the quarry, so following Zhou Chang and Chen Lingyun wasn’t likely to give her away.

She only heard Chen Lingyun ask Zhou Chang with concern, "You hardly slept last night and have to train so early this morning; can your body handle it?"

Zhou Chang then comforted her tenderly, "It’s fine, Yunyun, don’t worry. Once your injury is healed, you also need to train properly. Don’t let Zhou Xianzhi bully you again."

Zhou Xianzhi?

Xia Dabao pictured the gentle and frail Zhou Xianzhi in her mind.

Wasn’t it said that in the Longya Gang, she was always the one being bullied? That was why Long Aixi always helped and cared for her, right?

Xia Dabao doubted her own ears and continued to listen.

She only heard Chen Lingyun reply, "Zhou Xianzhi always pretended to be so gentle and weak. Yesterday, when she confronted me, I wanted to take the chance to teach her a lesson while no one was around, but who knew she’d be so formidable? She has really been putting on a great act; not becoming an actress is truly a waste of talent."

"Don’t worry, in a while you’ll take leave from Butler Yan, and then you can watch and think carefully about the techniques Zhou Xianzhi used against you yesterday and how you might counter them," he reassured.

"Okay, I know what to do now," Chen Lingyun said.

Xia Dabao didn’t follow them anymore. She just thought to herself: Is Zhou Xianzhi someone who is not what she appears to be?

She detested such people the most.

And Long Aixi, has he been kept in the dark by Zhou Xianzhi all along? If so, then he is truly too naive!

...

Towards evening.

Zhou Xianzhi was carrying a book and looking for Long Aixi again.

This morning when she had come, Long Aixi had already left, and she hadn’t managed to see him, so she decided to try again.

However, just as she stepped into the pavilion in the corridor, a shadow suddenly emerged. It was unclear who it was, just that it was a woman since her long hair wasn’t tied up.

"Who’s there?"

Zhou Xianzhi asked.

The masked woman did not make a sound but attacked her. Zhou Xianzhi had to meet the attack and judged the identity of her assailant through the techniques used.

It was the martial arts of the Longya Gang, but clearly not skilled, and her power was not great. Zhou Xianzhi scoffed as she fought, "Are you Mo Lu or Lin Caiyi? Are you here to attack me on behalf of Chen Lingyun?"
